This vignette is the primary replication document
for the NeStage package. Its goals are:
NeStage package functions return
the same values, establishing the package as a validated
implementation.The paper is: Yonezawa K., Kinoshita E., Watano Y., and Zentoh H. (2000). Formulation and estimation of the effective size of stage-structured populations in Fritillaria camtschatcensis, a perennial herb with a complex life history. Evolution 54(6): 2007–2013.
Yonezawa et al. (2000) derive a variance effective population size (\(N_e\)) for stage-structured populations where individuals can progress or regress among life-history stages and reproduce sexually and/or clonally. Two effective sizes emerge:
The key biological insight is that \(N_e\) can be much smaller than the census size \(N\) — for Fritillaria camtschatcensis, only 20–30% — meaning populations must be far larger than naive counts suggest to conserve gene diversity.
Fritillaria camtschatcensis is a perennial herb of alpine grasslands in Japan with three identifiable life-history stages:
Plants in all stages produce clonal progeny (bulblets) each year; death occurs only in Stage 1. Although Stage 3 plants set seeds, no seedlings were observed in the field, so populations are maintained almost entirely by clonal reproduction. Two populations were studied: Miz (Mizuyajiri, 2450 m) and Nan (Nanryu, 2050 m) on Mount Hakusan, central Honshu, Japan.
| Symbol | Definition |
|---|---|
| \(s\) | Number of demographic stages (3 here) |
| \(D_i\) | Fraction of the population in stage \(i\); \(\sum_i D_i = 1\) |
| \(u_{ji}\) | Transition rate: probability a stage-\(i\) plant at year \(t\) is in stage \(j\) at year \(t+1\) |
| \(u_{\cdot i} = \sum_j u_{ji}\) | Total annual survival rate of stage \(i\) |
| \(\bar{u} = \sum_i D_i\,u_{\cdot i}\) | Population-average annual survival |
| \(\overline{u^2} = \sum_i D_i\,u_{\cdot i}^2\) | Stage-weighted second moment of survival |
| \(F_i\) | Newborns produced per plant in stage \(i\) per year |
| \(r_i = F_i\,D_i\) | Contribution of newborns from stage \(i\) to the whole population |
| \(d_i \in [0,1]\) | Clonal reproduction rate of stage \(i\); sexual rate \(= 1 - d_i\) |
| \((V_k/\bar{k})_i\) | Variance/mean ratio of sexual (gametic) reproductive output, stage \(i\) |
| \((V_c/\bar{c})_i\) | Variance/mean ratio of clonal reproductive output, stage \(i\) |
| \(a\) | Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg proportions (\(a = 0\) under random mating) |
| \(L\) | Generation time: population-average mean age of reproduction |
Note on \(\bar{u}^2\) vs \(\overline{u^2}\): \(\bar{u}^2 = \bigl(\sum_i D_i\,u_{\cdot i}\bigr)^2\) is the square of the mean survival, while \(\overline{u^2} = \sum_i D_i\,u_{\cdot i}^2\) is the mean of squared survivals. Their difference captures stage-to-stage variation in survival and is the first source of genetic drift in Eq. 5.
\[ V(\Delta p) = \frac{pq}{2N}\left\{(1+a)\big(\overline{u^2} - \bar{u}^{\,2}\big) + \frac{1}{2}(1 - \bar{u})\big[\mathrm{Avr}(S) + \mathrm{Avr}(A\delta)\big]\right\} \]
where
\[ S_i = (1 - a) + (1 + a)\left(\frac{V_k}{\bar{k}}\right)_i, \qquad A_i = 2(1 + a)\left(\frac{V_c}{\bar{c}}\right)_i - S_i \]
\[ \boxed{N_e = \frac{2N}{V \cdot L}}, \qquad V = 2(1+a)\big(\overline{u^2} - \bar{u}^{\,2}\big) + (1-\bar{u})\big[\mathrm{Avr}(S) + \mathrm{Avr}(A\delta)\big] \]
In Fritillaria, all reproduction is effectively clonal (\(d_i \approx 1\)), Poisson-distributed (\((V_c/\bar{c})_i = 1\)), and \(a = 0\). Under these assumptions \(V = 2(1 - \bar{u})\), yielding:
\[ \boxed{N_e \approx \frac{N}{(1 - \bar{u})\,L}} \qquad \text{(Eq. 10)} \]
\[ \boxed{N_y = \frac{N}{1 - \bar{u}}} \qquad \text{(Eq. 11)} \]

in Steps 2–6. From Step 7 onwards, all calculations use the

\(L\) for replication: \(L = 13.399\) (Miz) and \(L = 8.353\) (Nan) are taken directly from Table 4 and passed to
NeStagevia theLparameter, overriding the internally computed value. This ensures exact replication of the paper. The T^x iteration reproduces both values to three decimals, so supplying L or lettingNeStagecompute it gives the same result.
This section works through the formulas by hand to verify we
understand each component before delegating to NeStage.

Ne_mixed_Y2000()Ne_clonal_Y2000() is the correct function for
Fritillaria because all reproduction is clonal. But
Ne_mixed_Y2000() implements the full general
model (Eq. 6) and reduces to the clonal-dominant Poisson case
when d = rep(1, s), Vc_over_c = rep(1, s), and
a = 0. We verify this internal consistency here.

Under Poisson defaults (\(V_c/\bar{c} = V_k/\bar{k} = 1\), \(a = 0\)), the clonal fraction \(d_i\) has no effect on \(N_e/N\). The clonal fraction only matters when clonal output is more variable than sexual output (\(V_c/\bar{c} > V_k/\bar{k}\)). We verify this property here and then explore what happens under super-Poisson clonal variance.
